Worked to reduce intrusive robo-calls from bill collectors and marketers;

Wrote the Homeowner Bill of Rights to protect families from aggressive lending practices;

Acting on a recommendation of the 9/11 Commission and working with police, fire and safety officers, Anna established a nationwide interoperable public safety network;

Fighting for a tax break for those who pay Homeowners Association fees for services like trash pick-up and storm-water management when they also pay taxes for those services;

Advocating for competition in the ‘set top box’ market to spark a next generation of alternatives and give consumers a choice.

The issues that affect seniors – protecting Social Security and Medicare – have always been at the top of my legislative agenda. Throughout my time in office, I have been emphatic in my support of Social Security. I have cosponsored and voted for legislation that strengthens Social Security in the following ways:

Worked to increase the primary insurance amount formula factor from 90% to 93% for all eligible beneficiaries;

Revised computation of cost-of-living adjustments to use the Consumer Price Index for Elderly Consumers;

Increased the special minimum primary insurance amount for lifetime low earners based on years in the workforce;

Cosponsored legislation to amend the Social Security Act to provide coverage for pharmacist services.

Cosponsored legislation to amend the Social Security Act to establish a national Oncology Medical Home Demonstration Project for the purpose of changing the Medicare payment for cancer care in order to enhance the quality of care and to improve cost efficiency.

I will continue to fight to make Social Security stronger and to ensure that all are served.
